My ats led

[tebo]

I put 11 leds a 750mA
660nm per side, in a net 28 "x 8", you think
with this is enough to have a strong algae, my current tankd its 450G

I bet you'll need more, but you should be able to see the growth pattern on your screen and figure out what you really need from that. There should be enough light right in front of your strip, the question is how far above and below will you get growth.

You should looka at Aces build for reference.

Thanks Morganatlanta,
Right now i have no groth because a dont have fish, few coconut worms, clearly my parameters are almost at 0 and only a pinch food flakes daily

I have to wait to have fish to see growth, but i probably need more led

Thanks kotlec i saw that already, but my screen its mor longer

I think a second strip the same size would really help you out. I know it cost a lot of $ for a second strip when dealing with one as big as yours, but it is a one time cost and I do think it would double your ATS growth. Let it go "as is" for a month or so just to get the screen established, then you can really see where you are lacking in spots and where you need to add more. Also make sure to check the temperature on the heatsink.. it can get really hot (too hot) without a fan to cool it in certain situations.. not sure about yours, so just keep an eye on it.

Ace25 Thank you very much for your answer, I'll wait for some fish to correctly determine the growth of algae as you say, depending on that as they add more LEDs as you say, the cost is important, but I think my tank stability worth it

Now I can touch the heatsink without any problem only becomes warm, so I think I'm on the right way

Greetings and thank you very much indeed for your answer

PD: sorry for my bad english ops:
